The Royal Family attended the Remembrance Sunday service today in London, with many of its members laying wreaths at the Cenotaph to pay their respects to those who have lost their lives in battle.
But as people may have noticed all wreaths looked different to each other and there is a particular reason for that.
The King’s wreath closely resembled the wreath produced for HM King George VI, according to Buckingham Palace.
Its 41 open-style poppy petals were made from bonded fabric and mounted on an arrangement of black leaves, as is traditional for the Sovereign.
The wreath’s ribbon bore The King’s racing colours; scarlet, purple and gold, while the Royal racing colours were also incorporated into the Wreaths of King George V, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II.
Meanwhile, even though Queen Camilla viewed the service from the balcony of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, her equerry Major Ollie Plunket, The Rifles, laid a wreath on her behalf.
The wreath closely resembled the one produced for HM Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.
Its 95 closed-style poppy petals were made from bonded fabric and the Wreath bore the colours from HM The Queen’s racing silk – brown, red and yellow.
